Tues Feb 15th

We got up late. Its nice getting up late. I love it. I came out of the bedroom and Bonnie was up drinking coffee so I grabbed a cup and sat down. We talked a while, and I suggested a manatee search for the day. She agreed, but said we must eat before any adventure could begin. I agreed.
Smells great
As breakfast was being prepared I took a look at the clock.
Look at the time...
It was almost afternoon, We had to get a move on if we wanted to find any Manatee. We showered and dressed and ran out of the condo into the car and we were off. We headed north on A1A looking for a good spot to pull over. We saw this golf course right on the ocean and it made me think of my little brother David, so we stopped and took a picture for him.

This was one cool golf course..I gotta go, here come security
We kept on going north just looking at the houses, or should I say mansions on the ocean. The flowers are really starting to bloom again and it was a very pretty drive.
The colors are magnificent
We got all the way to West Palm Beach, so we stopped to take a look and grab a picture. After I took these pictures, we drove another mile and I saw that is where the people were at..parking lot across the street.

North...where is everybody
South...I still don't see anybody
It was getting late in the afternoon so we drove another 10 miles north to Rivera beach inlet to grab an early dinner. We had been there once before and the food was good, and the ambiance is excellent.

I love coffee!!!
After dinner we walked around the inlet just relaxing. Once we got back to the car, we were shocked to find it covered in bird crap. I guess parking under a tree close to the water is a bad idea. We made a beeline for the nearest gas station, where I basically washed the car with a window washer. It was getting dark by then and we were 45 miles north of home so we headed for Hywy 1 and headed south. We stopped at a couple of second hand shops and got home at 8. Just in time for The Biggest Loser.
